I Decline the Ex-Boyfriend of the Regretful Male Lead (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 73
The place I entered following Hertian’s guidance was a path within the Imperial Palace I’d never walked before.
A white building situated behind the grand main palace.
“Where is this?”
“We’re going to see the court physician.”
It was the palace’s private clinic, accessible only to members of the imperial family.
“You don’t mean you brought me here for my examination?”
“Yes, I do.”
At first, I wondered what he was talking about—I’d forgotten I’d become a duchess. Since Hertian was imperial family, his wife—me—was also considered imperial and thus entitled to treatment at the palace clinic.
Suddenly, I remembered Father, who had once tried to connect Serdis and me.
‘He believed that receiving treatment under the court physician might improve my condition.’
But meeting the court physician wouldn’t cure my illness—it wasn’t truly an illness at all, but something closer to a curse.
‘Hertian probably knows that too.’
Yet I couldn’t stop him when he was grasping at straws. Silently, I followed him. I was also a little curious—how would the Empire’s most renowned physician perceive my condition? As an illness or a curse?
Passing through a white marble corridor, we arrived at a room he opened, where a man stood. He wore a pristine white coat and round glasses, with a gentle, amiable expression. Upon noticing us, he courteously bowed as if he’d been waiting.
“Welcome, Your Grace the Duke, Your Grace the Duchess.”
The Male lead Always Seduces Her with His Beauty (Matriarchy)
Xin Jiao Zhou is the leader of the world’s premier sect. She has just experienced betrayal from all sides, was poisoned in an assassination attempt, and faced death squad attacks while the poison was taking effect. After finally clearing out the scum from her sect, she was drugged again while trying to detoxify.
After waking up from a night of unconsciousness, she gained a “beautiful and kind-hearted” husband.
Xin Jiao Zhou: “???”
He fell ill.
She came to see him, bringing breakfast.
As she put down the breakfast and was about to leave, his hand slipped while holding the spoon. “Clank!”
She turned around upon hearing the noise.
He looked up at her, his eyebrows drooping: “My hand… has no strength.”
“Shall I… feed you?” she asked tentatively.
He opened his mouth cheerfully: “Ah—”
Thinking she was drowning, he jumped in without hesitation to save her, but nearly drowned himself. In the end, it was she who swam over to rescue him, giving him air underwater.
After emerging from the water, his ear tips turned red. He lightly brushed his cheek, tucking his sideburns behind his ear, revealing delicate, pink-tinged ear tips. He lowered his gaze, too embarrassed to look at her.
Xin Jiao Zhou: He’s truly beautiful, kind-hearted, and adorable.
A certain someone when disciplining subordinates behind the scenes: “If they don’t obey, just kill them.”
What’s that? She might already have someone she cares about in her heart? A certain someone: Find out who it is, kill them, and then there won’t be anyone.
What? She met a man by the riverside? What? That man even hurt her? A certain someone: Whichever hand hurt her, chop off his entire arm.
Love at first sight without realizing it, gradually falling in love, slowly getting closer…
Family and national grudges, schemes and desires, good and evil, crime and punishment, she and he face the future together, seeking justice with passion!
